Metro details Silver Line service changes

Metro officials offered additional details Wednesday about their decision to extend the new Silver Line, which was necessary in part by safety concerns, The Washington Post reported.

Officials are expected to tell the Metro board's Customer Service and Operations Committee that they will need an additional $4.6 million in the first year as part of the revised Silver Line plan. They said the new configuration will be in effect when the line goes into service, as early as the end of next year.
